I'm a zeidy
(I've been a zeidy for a while. I'm just celebrating in this seasonal manner)
I've always been confused by this stuff
OK now here's the joke.

When we moved into our house the previous owners didn't really leave the garage (or the basement) "broom clean." Among the the things shoved into the rafters in the garage and left behind was a large plastic Santa Claus. >
We left it there for a long time.

Now, our kids had no exposure to Santa Claus growing up. Remember we don't even have a TV.

One day they were playing in the garage and they saw this big Santa lawn ornament left behind by the Angelilos, lying in the rafters. >
And they ran in and said, "There's a zeidy in the garage!" A grampa.

They saw a an old man with a long white beard - which in our community is almost always a zeydie.

So that's the running joke in our family - calling Santa Claus "zeydie." >
Now read this zeydie blog post likelihoodofconfusion.com/best-of-2009-n…
Oh! You better watch out, you better not cry...
It's the Zeydie of Clifton!!

@MikayesFiona Docketing is just a rubber stamp
@MikayesFiona This OTOH - fourth entry down - is a

scheduling order 👀
@MikayesFiona And the same friend who sent me that, writes as follows:

"That scheduling order is not automatic. It's specific to the relief sought.

"I predicted the Texas suit in November." >

I had lunch with a very wise friend yesterday. He had a number of observations about the current crisis.

The first is that, if indeed it's Biden, liberals are going to be horrified by what he delivers.

Nothing "liberal" or "progressive" will happen. >
The middle and working classes are being destroyed and that will continue to its conclusion.

The Swamp creatures in the wings will also crush anyone associated with Trump or populism, including platforms, professionals and vendors. >
The uber rich will get richer as Wall Street continues acting as the CCP's finance and propaganda arm as well as the mechanism for transferring vast amounts of taxpayer money to

Wall Street and the CCP. >

@Astrosmegafan @DeeLaMue All I see is an unauthenticated document purported to be an "Epstein flight log" with the words "John Roberts" written in different handwriting from the other entries.

John is the most common first name in America. Over 470,000 people in the US have the last name Roberts.
@Astrosmegafan @DeeLaMue I have no special mission to defend CJ Roberts, but I think people are deeply mistaken to think that he is a liberal or has become a "strange new respect" Swamp creature. If you can't handle ambiguity and nuance in understanding how a high-level mind works, that's you, not him.
@Astrosmegafan @DeeLaMue But this "blackmail" angle is utter baloney. And I have spent a great deal of energy in my career raging and even fighting against both anonymous or otherwise unaccountable slander against people who are not in a position to defend themselves.

Election: People ask me in the DM's and right out here all kinds of questions about the legal I can't answer either because I don't know or because secrets. Please understand that most of them fall into the first category.

A brief explanation will however be enlightening. >
First, my friend the eccentric genius Thomas Wictor was right to recommend that you follow me because (a) I'm the kind of guy you should follow, (b) I do have a sense of the gestalt that is in many ways like his and (c) I'm usually good for a laugh or two.

But. >
While I've spoken to a lot of the famous people and been in many of the places, I'm not in charge of anything.

I've been privileged to have a few very challenging and professionally gratifying lawyering assignments in the last week and I'm on call for more. >

Some of you are relatively new to political engagement. You were probably thrust into it by our current state of cultural tyranny. You may have lost friends over it.

And though we don't know how this is going to end, right now you're hurting.

Let's talk. >
People like me - who have been infected with enthusiasm and passion for politics all our lives - have been telling you that everything about this election matters. It's the fight of our lives.

What if we lost? What?! 😳

Fair question. >
Old politicos like me will all answer the same way:

We WILL live. We WILL be back. They WILL not defeat us.

Yes, it hurts. It's so wrong. They're so bad in so many ways.

Trump gave us everything he had. Biden has only ever taken.

This is true. But: >

Friendly, cooperative and legally compliant here in Scranton #ElectionDay
Main moving part here is "naked ballots" - ballots mailed without the secrecy envelope. That piece is a little confusing to voters and although the percentage is small, we're seeing plenty of them.
As a percentage of ballots though, the percentage has been infinitesimal - much less than feared.

Voters' names are recorded by party workers and then the voters contacted, informed that they blew it and urged to come in and vote.
